The Rossignol Viper X1 Jr Ski inspires confidence in young skiers, from first timers to intermediates. Rossignol’s ZIP system allows for easy, tool-free installation and adjustment of the included Comp J binding, something that you’ll appreciate when your shorty’s feet outgrow his boots, but not his skis and bindings. Rossignol designed the Viper X1 Jr to be stable and forgiving in order to facilitate learning and progression on groomed snow at low to medium speeds. The Comp J binding’s DIN range allows for both improvements in your child’s skiing and increases in his weight.

Boot Sole length range: 210-290mm

Bottom Line: A ski setup that accommodates learning, growing, young skiers.

My son is 11 years old and he was more comfortable in a small

My son is 11 years old and he was more comfortable in a small mens ski boot than a kids. When we put the boot on the ski the boot overlapped the sides of the skis which concerned us, the tech said it would work but we have reservations. Would he be better off with a men's ski and a shorter length or stay with a kid's ski and the boot issue?

Thanks Jimmy Oliver

Hey Jimmy, there's nothing wrong with the base of the boot extending beyond the width of the ski. With any skinny ski you're going to have that problem, whether it's an adult or kids ski. You would have to really put the ski on it's edge in order to contact the boot to the snow, something an 11 year old (and many adults, for that matter) would have difficulty doing. That aside, you might want to consider getting your son a new pair of skis anyway. If he's in adult boots, a pair of adult skis would give him the tools necessary to improve his skiing...

My son is 54" and 60 lbs intermediate level. Would 120 cm be a good length for him?

Sounds a tad short - if he's 54" then he's 137cm tall. I suggest you check out the sizing charts. My daughter is 58lbs / 125cm and an advanced skiier and we've just bought her some 123cms.

Answer Brian's question >

my wife is a beginner, skied 4 times, weighs 120 lbs, 5'2".

my wife is a beginner, skied 4 times, weighs 120 lbs, 5'2". would this ski be a good ski for her being that it is a juniors ski?

If she's a true beginner then I'd recommend renting. She'll hopefully progress quickly to intermediate and then you can decide on the ski which makes sense based on her attitude and ability.

It could work, but it would probably be better if you grabbed her a small sized ladies ski. The performance and flex of a ladies ski would be best for her, and would help her improve.
